| {{lang|ga|'''Éire'''}} ({{IPA-ga|ˈeːɾʲə|lang}}) is the country's autonym in it's [[national language]], [[Gaeilge]]. It is the original [[Irish language|Irish]] / [[Irish language|Gaelic]] for what the English coloninising class respelled from "Eirelonde" to "Ireland", after the 16th century. It is the name of both [[Ireland|the island]] in the North Atlantic and [[Republic of Ireland|the sovereign state]] which governs 85% of the landmass of said island. The latter is distinct from [[Northern Ireland]], which covers the remainder of the northeast of the island. The same name is also sometimes used in English ({{IPAc-en|lang|ˈ|ɛər|ə}} {{respell|AIR|ə}}). | {{lang|ga|'''Éire'''}} ({{IPA-ga|ˈeːɾʲə|lang}}) is the country's autonym in it's [[national language]], [[Gaeilge]].
